Cautionary Notes

VN-V25U_26U_EN.book Page 8 Friday, January 18, 2008 2:56 PM

䢇 If a high luminance object (such as a lamp) is

shot, a white smear may appear at the upper

and lower ends of this object on the screen.

This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of

solid-state image sensors, and is not a

malfunction.

䢇 Some hubs/switches of products that are

equipped with intelligent features may

include a broadcast/multicast suppression

function. Viewing of multicast images on this

product may fail if this function is enabled.

䢇 Electricity can be supplied to this product

either by connecting the AC 24 V power

supply or using the PoE. Make sure to select

only one mode of electrical supply.

Connecting the power cord and the LAN

cable for the PoE at the same time may result

in failure or malfunction of the camera.

(A Page 17, 18)

䢇 This product comes with a built-in AGC

circuit. When using this product with AGC set

to AMidB, AHighB or ASuperB, the sensitivity

level increases when the image is dark, and

the screen may appear grainy as a result.

However, this is not a malfunction.

䢇 When using this product with the white

balance set to AATWB, the displayed color

may differ slightly from the actual color

according to the condition of the object due to

the principle of the automatic tracking white

balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.

䢇

The electronic shutter of this product is set to

1/30

by default. For regions with a

commercial power supply frequency of 50 Hz,

switch to the flickerless mode during use

under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter

lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.

䢇 When the Black-and-white mode (VN-V26U)

or Easy Day and Night mode (VN-V25U) is

enabled, the image becomes black-and-white

in a dark place. As the sensitivity level is

increased in this case, the screen may

appear grainy and more white spots may

appear. When switching between color and

black-and-white images, the brighter area on

the screen is emphasized, which may reduce

the visibility. However, this is not a

malfunction.

䢇

If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut

off or reduced due to lightning, turning on of

the air conditioner’s power, etc., the image

may be disrupted or noise interference may

occur.

䢇

When using multicast, make use of a

IGMPv2-compliant network switch.

䢇

In the case of VN-V26U, the image and sound

may not synchronize when playing back using

built-in viewer. This is not a malfunction.

䢇

When VN-V26U is sending high bitrate, the

image and sound can be paused during

Black-and-white mode changing. This is not a

malfunction.
